    I'm looking for a pr. of .50mm-over rings for my 81' GS450E

    I'm going half a mm oversize(.50mm)on my 1981' GS450E and just found a pr. of .50mm NOS Suzuki pistons from Paul Miller on Ebay. The top-end on this bike is 'chock full o' Carbon'.
    I'm now hunting for a pr. of #12140-44110-050 Suzuki .50mm oversize piston rings;I've been hunting/calling,etc. for a while in a search for them and have come-up empty so far. I may need to widen my search.
    I also have a good 1983' GS750ES which needs parts and work which is sitting in storage waiting for me to finally locate parts for it;this red & white bike is the one which a few members here had kindly helped me transport a few yrs ago from Sterling,Va. out here where I now reside,thanks

    Plugged that part number into a Google search and found this set, looks like other suppliers have them as well so you might want to price shop.

      Hi,I called Partzilla yesterday to confirm whether the parts are available to them;spoke to a live person who looked up the status on a screen and he said "no,they are not".

          Rather confusingly, it says, "The 1214044110050 Ring Set, Piston (os:0.5) can be ordered" - it's not in stock.
          Then it says, "add to cart" as if it is in stock.

            Using Chrome, it states "Only 3 left", suggesting they are in stock.

              Is your browser able to add one to the cart?

                  Tried it in Firefox and it adds to cart ok.

                    Ok Thanks guys.
                    I was thinking there might be an aftermarket ring supplier which fit the OEM pistons;been looking,so far none.
                    CMSNL.com,I've ordered from them in the past.;OEM Suzuki quality is hard to beat.

                        I ordered the pr. of OEM Suzuki NOS #12111-44100-050 .50mm overbore pistons from Paul Miller off Ebay,just got the pair of pistons today;I received one .50mm over piston and one STD 71mm piston.. I sent the seller a message on Ebay.
                        I hope to here back from him that he has another .50mm;the superseded part# is 12103-44810-050,and possibly I can find one other to match the one i already have,then return the STD size. I'll keep calling around,might get lucky.
